Effect of Nose Shape on Subsonic Aerodynamic Characteristics of a Body of Revolution Having a Fineness Ratio of 10.94 (open access)

Effect of Nose Shape on Subsonic Aerodynamic Characteristics of a Body of Revolution Having a Fineness Ratio of 10.94

Memorandum presenting a determination of the effect of nose shape on the normal-force, pitching-moment, and axial-force coefficients of a body of revolution with a fineness ratio of 10.94 as determined at subsonic speeds. Six nose shapes were investigated, which included flat-faced noses with various corner radii, a hemispherical nose, and two ogival noses.

The Use of Cones as Stabilizing and Control Surfaces at Hypersonic Speeds (open access)

The Use of Cones as Stabilizing and Control Surfaces at Hypersonic Speeds

Report discussing the use of cones as stabilizing and control surfaces, which seems to be promising. Information about preliminary considerations, range of cone angles of probable interest, effects of Mach number on the shift in lift advantage from flat plate to cone, comparison of cone with more competitive lifting surfaces, and comparison in terms of producing the same restoring force for complete configuration is presented.

Jet effects on base pressures of conical afterbodies at Mach 1.91 and 3.12 (open access)

Jet effects on base pressures of conical afterbodies at Mach 1.91 and 3.12

Report presenting data showing the effect of a jet on base pressure for a series of conical afterbody-jet-nozzle combinations with a range of boattail angles and base-to-jet diameter ratios. Generally, base pressure increased for increasing values of boattail angle, nozzle angle, jet temperature, and jet total pressure and for decreasing values of base-to-jet diameter ratio, jet Mach number, and free-stream Mach number.

Transonic Flutter Investigation of a 64 Degree Delta Wing Constructed With Spars Along Constant-Percent Chord Lines and Streamwise Ribs (open access)

Transonic Flutter Investigation of a 64 Degree Delta Wing Constructed With Spars Along Constant-Percent Chord Lines and Streamwise Ribs

Report presenting an investigation of the transonic flutter characteristics of a 64 degree delta wing with spars along constant-percent chord lines and streamwise ribs. The data was compared to a previously published report on a similar wing with spanwise spars and orthogonal streamwise ribs.
